Emanuel Imperial became CSI's newest assistant coach in August of 2017, and will assist with both programs beginning with the women's 2017 season.
Imperial has plenty of familiarity with CSI tennis, having played against Dolphins' sides for four seasons as part of the Baruch College men's tennis team from 2006-09.  Imperial was the No. 1 Singles player for the Bearcats side that accumulated four-straight CUNYAC Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances.  During his playing days he was a Tennis Pro at Sportime at Randall's Island, assisting various high school tennis programs from Manhattan and the Bronx, while offering private tennis instruction.
Most recently, Imperial has worked as a tennis pro at McCarren Park Tennis Center in Williamsburg, where he teaches private and semi-private lessons for all ages and offers early development and adult training as well. Â The Staten Island native is excited to be back on the college circuit, helping a Dolphins side achieve success in its quest for CUNYACÂ Championships on both sides.
